Hi @PALASH9698,

Would you first please response to my queries provided in post 12. Without having your information for the queries raised above, the xlsform would still be faulty.

Have a great day!

Dear Kal_lam

Thanks

Hi @PALASH9698,

The method that i had suggested would be a short and a sweet one. However, it’s still possible to use the method you have outlined. The only drawback using your method would be is during the analysis phase.

Have a great day!

Hi @PALASH9698,

Would you mind providing us the detail list of what should be filtered as provided earlier in a word doc (as done in post 5)? It would be easy to validate your xlsform with the word doc.

Have a great day!
